The album "Lower Caste Religious Music From India" by Monks,Transvestites, Midwives, and Folksingers captures folk music of the masses across India, primarily of the blue collar and manual labor working classes. Not known to many westerners, the concept of "Caste" in India
was originally role based, not hereditary. The role-based system was
hijacked by power mongers in monarchies and oligarchies to the
notorious caste system that we have all now learnt to love to hate,
though some form of the system is found in all societies in varying
degrees and forms.

The seven tracks in this album provide a sample of the diversity and
richness of folk traditions in India, not necessarily tied to Lower
Caste, in spite of the title of the album.

The nostalgic Bangla Adhunik Songs of the Bengali Swarnajug era are famously romantic and are mostly Bengali love songs in nature. Various subtle and strong sentiments are expressed with poetic license in extraordinary beautiful albums that are great works of art. The dry reality of post-modern Bengali song writing and music composition found today is a far cry from nostalgia era bangla adhunik gaan. Focus has also shifted away from high art to the physical, and though love is still often the subject, it is not uncommon to find a bangla song about sex and the human body any more.
